WHAT’S HAPPENING?
On July 20, 2015, Microsoft released an out-of-band patch for a critical vulnerability affecting all currently supported versions of Windows.  TSO will apply the patch to TSO managed Windows.


WHEN IS IT HAPPENING?
Tuesday, July 21, 2015, starting at 6:00 PM.  Patching should be complete by 8:00 PM.


WHY IS IT HAPPENING?
To ensure the security of managed Windows computers.


WHO IS AFFECTED?
Users of the following:
Faculty and staff desktop computers on the CC domain
Research lab desktop computers on the CC domain
Managed laptop computers


WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?
These patches will require a reboot following installation, so affected users should save their work, logout, and leave their desktop computers on before leaving for the day. After the patching is complete, an affected desktop computer will reboot even if a user is logged in. An on-screen notification countdown will be displayed on logged-in computers, allowing users 30 minutes to save their work before the reboot occurs.
